Here’s what people have to say about AZ Dance Medicine Specialists:
“Alexis is wonderful! She helped me with ankle impingement. She knew what was going on immediately, gave me the tips I needed to fix the problem complete with what to do if I overdo it. What she provided worked immediately and I have been dancing and working out pain free for months!
~ Kelly K., Colorado
“I’m a full time dancer and I approached Alexis for physical therapy after I injured my ankle. She has been amazing throughout this whole recovery process. Very knowledgeable and patient; you can tell she cares and knows what she is doing! Highly recommend!!”
~ Carla C., Arizona
“I have known Alexis for several years now, first as a dance teacher and then as a physical therapist. My 14 year old is a competitive club swimmer who injured her shoulder and within one visit my daughter was already on the road to recovery. I highly recommend her!”
~ Jennifer B., Arizona
I worked with Alexis AZ DanceMed for the first time yesterday and it was a revelation. It marked the first time in a long time that I felt hopeful about regaining function in my right hip joint. With Alexis’s methods, I was amazed to see that my body can still learn new patterns. Things shifted within an hour.
~ Susana K., Arizona
Alexis is amazing!! I am a dancer. I focus mainly on breaking but others dance styles as well. I hurt my back in Oct 2018. I went to doctors, massage therapists, physical therapist, and so much more… nothing and no one helped me like Alexis. She found the root cause to my energy and gave me exercises to help. Since her I have seen mounds of improvement. I tell everyone about her! I travel from New Mexico to Arizona to see Alexis.
